body
Statement of Issue:
At the January 17, 2023 Council meeting, City Council directed staff to return with necessary measures to ensure that all individually appointed Boards, Commissions, and Committees (BCCs) have up to 7 members, with no more than one appointee per Councilmember. This action would apply to the Community and Library Services Commission (which has a total of 9 members), and the Citizen Infrastructure Advisory Board/Public Works Commission (which had a total of 8 members but is currently at 7 following a recent resignation).

As such, it led to a temporary increase in membership; those identified, additional members would exit the Commission following the end of their terms, at which point the roster for each Commission would return to 7 members.

Financial Impact:
